11 Exciting Things Coming to the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac in Apple’s New Software Updates

As with previous Worldwide Developers Conferences (WWDCs), Apple laid out everything new that’s coming to all its devices in yesterday’s keynote. While we already knew about a couple of new features thanks to the usual collection of last-minute rumors and leaks, there were still a lot of surprises to be excited about.

Luckily for Apple fans, the company’s upcoming updates are some of the best we’ve seen in years.

Sure, iOS 18 might have the spotlight because of the iPhone’s massive popularity, but the iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac are getting a bunch of exciting new features, too. 

Apple unveiled a lot yesterday, from new apps to long-awaited features and AI, and there’s no doubt that Apple is working on some amazing updates for all its products. While we’ve covered some of the best changes below, there are also a bunch of other new features coming that we probably don’t even know about yet. 

You can download the developer beta of these software updates right now, but we recommend that you wait until the final version comes out near the end of this year, or at least next month’s public betas. If you do try the betas, though, be sure to create a backup for your devices and avoid using your main device if possible.

However, while you’re waiting, we’ll continue to dig into everything Apple plans to offer and share the highlights. Read on for 11 of the best new iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac features that we can’t wait to try.
